Overall Rating

Excellent

A wonderful bookshop that is tucked away in the city centre. The staff were incredibly helpful, such as opening the door as they saw me approach which was really appreciated. They have a great range of books and other items too! The greenery outside the shop made it feel a little bit like an oasis!

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

A single level bookshop. Some of the shelves are high but staff are happy to help. The door also isn't automatic, but again, the staff helped before I even had to ask which was wonderful. The shop is carpeted but I didn't notice it creating resistance for my wheelchair.

Accessible facilities: Single-level venue, Step-free entrance

Parking & Transport

Average

This is in the city centre so parking is reliant on public car parks nearby. It's located quite close to the Old Market tram stop.

Staff

Excellent

Staff were incredibly helpful and proactive which was really lovely
